Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 4.00 m/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at

6.00 m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground). Dan's mass is 60.0 kg and the skateboard's mass is 5.00 kg . How fast is Dan going as his feet hit the ground?

Answer:

The speed of the Dan is 38.33 m/s.                        

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Dan, m = 60 kg

Mass of skateboard, m' = 5 kg

Initial speed of Dan and skateboard is, u = 4 m/s

He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard. The skateboard kicks forward at a speed of 6 m/s, v' = 6 m/s

We need to find the speed of Dan as his feet hit the ground. In the whole process, the momentum remains conserved. Let v is the speed of Dan. Using conservation of linear momentum as :

(m+m')u=mv+m'v'

(60+5)\times 4=60v+5\times 6\\\\260=60v+30\\\\v=38.33\ m/s

So, the speed of the Dan is 38.33 m/s.

Nostrana [21]

At a constant speed of 5.00 m/s, the speed at which the poodle completes a full revolution is

\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\left(\dfrac{1\,\mathrm{rev}}{2\pi(2.9\,\mathrm m)}\right)\approx0.2744\,\dfrac{\mathrm{rev}}{\mathrm s}

so that its period is T=3.644\,\frac{\mathrm s}{\mathrm{rev}} (where 1 revolution corresponds exactly to 360 degrees). We use this to determine how much of the circular path the poodle traverses in each given time interval with duration \Delta t. Denote by \theta the angle between the velocity vectors (same as the angle subtended by the arc the poodle traverses), then

\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{0.4\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx39.56^\circ

\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{0.2\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx19.78^\circ

\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx6.923^\circ

We can then compute the magnitude of the velocity vector differences \Delta\vec v for each time interval by using the law of cosines:

|\Delta\vec v|^2=|\vec v_1|^2+|\vec v_2|^2-2|\vec v_1||\vec v_2|\cos\theta

\implies|\Delta\vec v|=\begin{cases}3.384\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\\1.718\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\\0.6038\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\end{cases}

and in turn we find the magnitude of the average acceleration vectors to be

\implies|\vec a|=\begin{cases}8.460\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\\8.588\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\\8.625\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\end{cases}

So that takes care of parts A, C, and E. Unfortunately, without knowing the poodle's starting position, it's impossible to tell precisely in what directions each average acceleration vector points.

Which force makes an object free fall?
LenaWriter [7]
Gravity

Explanation: ree fall is a special type of motion in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity. Objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering a significant force of air resistance; they are falling under the sole influence of gravity.

How acceleration and gravitation (acceleration) are related/different?
mihalych1998 [28]
The source of acceleration (without gravity) is transfer of energy from one object to another or change of its own energy structure so that one of its components changes into increasing energy of motion.
But gravity occurs with no measurable energy transfer nor is the gravitating mass changing its energy structure in order to produce gravity.
If the cause of acceleration and gravity is not related at all is the Equivalence principle just a coincidence that the resulting effects are physically identical and indistinguishable
